Hello My Happy People,
First and foremost, I want to thank all of you who actually follow me, read my blogs/vlogs, listen to the occasional podcast, and best of all, buy and read my books! I could not do any of this without you! Well ... I could, but there wouldn't be much of a point to it. You are the most important part of my writing career. Without followers/readers, I have no career. I would just be a person who likes to write for themselves, not an author.
I am not a person who is good at asking for help. I am really bad at it. I would rather kill myself doing everything on my own than put myself out there to ask for help. Most people think it is because I am a control freak, but the truth is ... it's not that. I don't ask for help because I have a deep and crippling fear that no one would want to help me. So instead I drive myself insane trying to do everything on my own. Unfortunately, when it comes to my books, going it alone is obviously not working.
I need help. I need people who will share my posts. I need ARC readers. I need people who will leave reviews. I need people who will buy my books and give them a try. I need an author critique group to help bounce ideas around. I need a better plan!
I am open to suggestions from anyone who has had better success than I am currently having. I am determined to figure this all out and make this a viable career, but it is obvious that I need to find a different path to reach my goals. As God is my witness, I will find it!
I think now is a perfect time for some jokes!
Have a great weekend people!
Dianne
